It’s really infuriating how Israel killed 70k+ Palestinians based on the death toll (although we really know it’s much higher) and Zionists are not only now cynically using Sudan for the sake of plausible deniability and to deflect from what is happening in Palestine, not to mention Gaza is still in ruins and most Palestinians in Gaza are still dispossessed. But any time you suggest that we should hold Israel accountable, or we should cut off its support systems, you have Zionists whining that this will impact Jews. Okay no one asked you to support a murderous state and army. And this is why Israel continues to get away with murder because no one, not even so-called liberal Zionists, are willing to do anything to stop the killing until something like Oct 7 happens and all of a sudden it concerns them.

This post is genuinely baffling in its lack of empathy and its bad faith and unsupported arguments.

1) Fellas, is it an evil Jewish Zionist plot to Oppress Palestine if we speak sympathetically about people being executed in their own homes?

2) Yes, I can’t imagine any reason that particularly Israelis and diaspora Jews would have any real sympathy or empathy for innocent civilians being slaughtered by an Arab-supremacist hate group trying to seize control of their country. Inconceivable. This is an unprecedented event. It simply must be a shadowy plot. It’s the only explanation.

3) Not everything is secretly about Palestine, oh my god. Imagine if people talked like this about other conflicts. “Oh you’re only pretending to care about the Uyghur people because you want to distract from poor conditions on Native reservations,” or something. It’s nonsensical and so disrespectful to everyone involved — Sudanese, Israelis, diaspora Jews, Palestinian people, and everyone else who cares about innocent people being killed — to assert that Jews and allies only pretend to care about the Dafur genocide for some nefarious Arab-hating purpose.

Some of you are so desperate to shoehorn your weird obsessive xenophobia and antisemitism about Israel into every discussion. It’s weird. I can’t imagine hating and dehumanizing an entire country or ethnicity of people so much that I am unable to acknowledge their capacity to care about people. It’s genuinely sad. It’s also kind of absurd; why is it that people who hate Israelis don’t seem to be willing to understand the fact that not every person who lives in the country is personally responsible for the war or reveling in

War is a tragedy; it is horrid and violent and cruel. Random Israeli civilians and diaspora Jews resonating with what is happening to the Sudanese people are not in some shadow cabal propaganda psyop. It is just horrible to watch another defenseless group of civilians be mercilessly slaughtered by an Arab supremacist terrorist paramilitary. I don’t understand why you and people like you insist upon, dig your heels in about, and refuse to let go of this strange obsession with creating some sort of intrinsic Jewish evil to hate. I mean, scapegoating and the oldest hatred and so forth, but practically speaking, I don’t get how people fall for the trap of dehumanization so easily.

Lmao fuck you. This is such a bad faith reading of my post, and as a Palestinian, i have every right to be angry. Where in my post did I say Jews caring about civilians being slaughtered was some sort of psyop or conspiracy? That’s not what i said nor did i imply it’s fake concern.

What i did say is there are definitely many vocal pro-Israel individuals using Sudan as a way to deflect from what occurred in Gaza, to downplay the atrocities there. Especially because many of them had not spoken about Sudan prior to this week whilst claiming that the “left” had been “silent” meanwhile it’s exactly the same people caring about Palestine who have been vocal about Sudan prior to this week. That’s not even mentioning that so many of these same individuals are blatantly lying and misrepresenting what’s going on in Sudan that the aggressors are “Islamists” to feed a particular narrative, despite the main state funding these atrocities being a huge US/Israel ally. If anything, I’m not blaming Jews or anything, just pointing out what seems to me as obvious hypocrisy!

Okay! I’m not going to engage in personal attacks. I don’t know you and you don’t know me. I take issue with the implications of this post, but I harbor no ill will towards you. I will admit I swung a little hard there. I’m just so sick of hearing this argument.

Frankly, I don’t know how to interpret the assertion that people are cynically using Sudan as a tool to hide awful things they’re doing as anything but a potshot. It pings on my radar as reminiscent of classic antisemitic canards of Jews being shady and untrustworthy, and that sort of language is used extremely frequently to describe Israelis and paint them in an aggressively negative light. I was being hyperbolic in my post but I can see how it came off as just flat out making shit up. I just think you’re making uncharitable assumptions based on what you believe about the character of Zionists and, therefore, Jews. I think I know what post you’re talking about, and it’s for sure a bit humblebraggy and annoying, but I don’t think the poster is speaking up as some calculated plot to draw attention away from Palestine. I think that’s kind of an off assumption to make. The average rando online probably doesn’t have much reason to run propaganda, especially that about a war that’s already over. You’re seemingly approaching this from the perspective that these people (usually Jews, from my experience) have a shady agenda to manipulate social media to politically favor and empower them. That’s pretty classic “elders of Zion” stuff. So I used the goofy terms they use.

Secondly, it is VERY true that the free palestine movement has been suffocatingly virulent online. It’s true that for a long time you could not exist online or on college campuses without being bombarded with pressure to fit into this box and commit no thoughtcrimes and parrot back canned phrases so people didn’t get bombarded with AS MUCH horrific antisemitism and Hitler apologia. And that has fallen disproportionately on Jews. It may be harder to see from the inside, but the free Palestine movement has added substantial fire to the global increase in violent antisemitism. It is true from what I have seen that this sort of activism “cult” (for lack of a better term. Frenzy? Mania?) doesn’t currently exist around Sudan. What ive seen people say is: why is it that people went so insanely hard over I/P and not over this? Because it fulfills the ancient cultural fantasy of scapegoating Jews. Think about it. Most people don’t despise Chinese or Saudi or Russian or North Korean citizens the way many do Israeli citizens. Why? What’s the big difference here between these various countries with batshit governments? It’s Judaism. There’s a solid base in this circle of activists that is steeped in hate. Is the type of post you mentioned being a little annoying? Yes. But they’re not exactly wrong. Your post came off to me as needlessly disparaging and judgmental towards people with a political view you disagree with. And I am saying Jews instead of Zionists because, just, let’s be real here. That’s generally what we’re talking about.

And re: the RSF (group doing the genocide in Sudan), I’m not sure what you’re talking about with them being “huge Israel/US allies.” I just know that as of a few years ago, Israeli officials were split on the RSF (this was pre-civil war), and the US classifies them as a genocidal paramilitary group. Not at ALL as allies. If you have sources on that lmk! You’re totally right that they’re not Islamists though; they’re just your regular run of the mill Arab supremacists lol. There’s a subset of random white republicans who claim to be pro-Israel when they’re actually just Islamophobic, and that’s not okay.

I had a bit of a hard time understanding some of your post, AND I don’t know you, so it’s very possible I misinterpreted! I think the bones of my argument are solid, if hyperbolic, but I’m always open to being wrong.

Ok firstly sorry, I shouldn’t have done this as a personal attack, but I was just annoyed.

I’m not interested in arguing so I’m just going to use this as a chance to clarify further rather than as a rebuttal per se. I think I did not expect my initial post to leave my circles and as you said, we don’t know each other so I’m not sure how you’re approaching it

I wasn’t referring to a particular post but rather particular pro-Israel influencers on Twitter (some of whom aren’t Jewish either) using Sudan to downplay what happened in Gaza, in the sense of saying “People spent years talking about a genocide but this is what a real genocide looks like!” And in the context of those particular influencers, they’re very well known for denying the level of suffering and destruction in Gaza, calling it “lies” etc.

I understand that wasn’t clear from my initial post and it sounds like I was talking about Zionists (or Jews as one may interpret) more broadly but that wasn’t the case! So I definitely think you read more into my post as me trying to claim this is part of some Jewish manipulation conspiracy but again, not the case, and definitely an assumption on your part.

My post was less to do with Sudan and rather annoyance about people who hadn’t said anything about Sudan before being quick to use it as a gotcha or engage in the plausible deniability I mentioned in my OP when the situation itself has barely settled, even if there might be a ceasefire in place.

Also re: the RSF, I was talking about the main financier of the RSF which is the UAE being an Israeli/US ally, not the actual group itself.

It’s really infuriating how Israel killed 70k+ Palestinians based on the death toll (although we really know it’s much higher) and Zionists are not only now cynically using Sudan for the sake of plausible deniability and to deflect from what is happening in Palestine, not to mention Gaza is still in ruins and most Palestinians in Gaza are still dispossessed.

Absolutely horrific news and images coming out of El Fasher, Sudan. Since the Rapid Support Forces (a UAE-backed militia) took the area, they have carried out so many mass killings that the bloodstains and bodies are visible in satellite images. Estimates are currently at around 2,000 dead and more expected, and the WHO is reporting that at least 460 people were massacred in the Saudi Maternity Hospital. The RSF's mass killings and displacement in El Fasher are part of an ongoing genocide against Zaghawa, Berti, Fur, and other non-Arab groups in Sudan. Prior to this massacre, El Fasher had endured a year and a half long siege and a resulting famine.

The UAE is the primary supporter of the RSF, but the RSF is also using military vehicles and equipment from Canada and the UK. These countries sell them to the UAE, which supplies them to the RSF. It is essential that we boycott the UAE and pressure the leaders of our nations to stop selling them weapons.

If you can, please donate to organizations that are supporting survivors and providing aid in Sudan. Here are links to donate to the IRC and UNICEF, but I will also be updating soon with more links to local aid organizations. I'm trying to figure out which local aid organizations are still operating right now in El Fasher and the surrounding area—if anyone has information regarding that, please let me know

BSonBlast on twitter and instagram (and i think also tiktok though i'm not on there) has compiled links of emergency response rooms and other organizations as well as vetted fundraisers doing work on the ground in sudan. please also take the time to look through some of the videos she has made explaining what is going on in sudan. here is an instagram post she collaborated on explaining some context for the darfuri genocide through posts as early as 2020.

Putting this all aside the idea that "arab" is a race and that no "arab" existed in palestine or wider levant prior to the Islamic conquest (surprise there were people from the Arabian peninsula in palestine long before "arab colonization") has done irreparable damage to online discourse. Like everyone thinks they're a historian and the loudest ones think that indigineity means some uninterrupted ancestry to the land and treat migration as evidence of settlerism. I mean, it's just so bizarre. Identities change over time, people change even if they stay in the region their understanding of their own identity is not the same as their modern day descendants. It does not help the discourse that people try to prove palestinians are descendants of the philistines or canaanites, which only makes it worse because the reality is that it is impossible to improve. "Most Palestinians' genetic history can prove that they go far back" well some palestinians migrated on pilgrimage from africa and other parts of Asia as lat as the 19th century. What unites us is far more than genetics and playing into this israeli understanding of history only serves to legitimize it

as much as I detest the Israeli claim that all Palestinians are descended from Arab settlers, this is also true and I feel like arguing this for the sake of countering justification of ethnic cleansing and occupation undermines the argument. Don’t get me wrong, there is a discussion to be had about Palestinian ties and descent but not in opposition to ethnic cleaning and occupation.

The whole point of ethnic cleansing being bad is the ethnic cleansing and dispossession itself. The same way Zionists argue that they have a right to ethnically cleanse Palestinians bc they’re just “Arabs” and “can go to any other Arab country,” I don’t think arguing “oh but Palestinians are descended from ancient peoples living on the land” counteracts the point. In fact it provides a concession to that original argument that Palestinians who had arrived from xyz 100 years ago were right to be ethnically cleansed because they hadn’t been there that long

No! Our opposition to ethnic cleansing lies in the the act itself (regardless of any tentative connection and history.) It really shouldn’t matter whether Palestinians have been there 2 Millenia, 2 centuries, decades or even two years. No one should be ethnically cleansed, let alone never being allowed to return.

DON’T SKIP, PLEASE I BEG YOU.

Please, I beg you — if you're reading this, don’t look away. Every second matters.

The war is over, but the effects of famine in Gaza are not yet over — it still haunts us, stealing the lives of our children one by one. My little boy, Qais, is fighting to survive after suffering from severe malnutrition. Every donation, every act of kindness, could mean the difference between life and death for him and for so many others who are starving in silence.

The famine in Gaza is manmade, created by years of deliberate cruelty:

1. The ongoing blockade that prevents food, medicine, and clean water from entering.

2. The destruction of farms and water sources that once sustained families.

3. The collapse of hospitals and aid systems, leaving children too weak to be treated.

These conditions have turned Gaza into a place where hunger kills faster than bombs — especially the smallest and most innocent: our children.

I speak as a mother with nothing left but a trembling voice. Qais is only a little boy, but hunger has stolen his strength, his laughter, his childhood. Please — don’t let him fade away like so many others. I beg you, from the depths of my broken heart: donate, speak — do anything you can to keep my son, and the children of Gaza, alive.

PLEASE DONATE HERE

If Qais was your only child, would you leave him to face his fate alone?

DONATE HERE PLEASE

The Second Anniversary of the War on Gaza

(October 7, 2023 – October 6, 2025)

Today marks two years since the war turned our lives upside down.

I repeat my plea with a voice full of pain and hope:

I am Noor, mother of three: Hussein (7), Rajaa (5), and Youssef (1).

For two years, we have lived through the sounds of explosions, killing, displacement, and rising prices.

My children have not known a sense of safety in all these years.

Every day I wake up in confusion and ask myself:

How can I protect my children from bombing, killing, and hunger?

How can I make them feel safe?

I am tired of appearing strong in front of my children while my heart trembles with fear for them.

After two years, all we have left is our voice.

Please help us. Donate. Share our story. Do not leave us alone.

We count two years of our extermination!

It could have lasted only two months, but your betrayal has prolonged it and it still continues!

My feelings are mixed. I am eagerly awaiting the ceasefire, and I am afraid and anticipating that everything will fail. Tired of what we have suffered and are still suffering from for two years

Don't tell me you can't do anything for us. You can do a lot. Just sharing or donating even 5 euros makes a difference. I beg you, my friends, to help me. Please donate to us. Please do not let us down like the others.

I received Noor's ask, please share her posts and donate if you can! Her campaign is vetted at #245 on the GazaVetters spreadsheet
